    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I have tried the Anker Powercore II 20100 with the Qutest and what you say here is exactly what I observed. Mudded sound and lack of dynamics compared to original psu...

    Marantz HD-DAC1

    It will be an interesting comparaison with my Chord Qutest and Liquid Platinum amp. I know it's not in same price range but I could be pleasantly surprised. Qutest and Clear can be fatiguing on long listening. Also I just wished the Marantz had proper rca inputs...

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    To me, Lifatec glass out of the Bluesound Node2i + Roon sounds better than Audioquest Carbon out of the SoTM sMS-200ultra + sP-500 + Roon to the Qutest ...

    Alternatives to the Emotiva Stealth DC-1

    Would the DC-1 be an upgrade when compared to the Jotunheim DAC ? I sometimes found it a bit harshe and cold with my HD-650. The price tag at my local distributor is $650 CAD +tx. What do you think ? Edit: I've been experiencing with the ACL1150 from my computer and I think I prefer this to...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    Hello, Jot community! I am really enjoying my Jot+DAC since April and now I found it sounds even better with JRiver 23 compared to foobar2000. I was using foobar2000 with WASAPI drivers and I was hearing "clicks" when playing music in EVENT mode. PUSH mode did not have the clicks but sounded...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    Hi again! Still love my Jotty and I use it much everywhere in the house :dt880smile: Now, let's say I play a file in FLAC 24/96 in Foobar2000, how can I be sure that it's been sent in this very format to the Jotty ? Because there's no light or indicator about this. Thanks :beerchug:

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    Finally received the Jot! What a great piece of equipment! It drives my HD-650 like a champ with a really realistic sound. What an upgrade from the internal amp of my motherboard... Also tested as a preamp / dac combination in-between my MacBook Air and Emotiva XPA-2 amp. The results: silky...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    My Schiit was shipped the same day I ordered. Took 3 days to reach Montreal, which is pretty impressive. But now, well... it's been 7 days since my Jot is waiting for being cleared at the Customs in Montreal. I understand we're on holidays, but come on...

    Does anyone ever used the Jitterbug with the Jotunheim+DAC ? If so, does it plays better with ?

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    I can't wait to try the Jotunheim as a preamp for my Emotiva XPA-2 amp. I've always had the BDP-105 connected directly to it.

    Oh that's sweet, thank you.   I've just ordered the Jotunheim and it was shipped same day. I guess I'm lucky.   Can't wait to try this with my HD-650s. My current amp/dac is the Audioengine D3

    Does the Jotunheim can use the RCA input then BAL out the a power amp ? Also, can I connect Galaxy S7 with a USB cable to it ?   Thanks in advance

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I got the HD-650 for $489 CAD tree weeks ago. That's the lowest price I've found on the Internet, for a brand new, "Canadian" pair.   I must say I'm really satisfied with my purchase   Audio heaven     Edit: Well, there was a quote from someone in there but for some reason it's not working
